Default HELP! Dipstick Plug Nightmare!!

So The geniuses who installed my new LS1 in my camaro the other day forgot to drill out the small metal dipstick plug GM puts in their crate engines. So now i get to try and drill this thing out which happens to be in the worst f**kin spot possible. Anyone had any experience doing this or know what to do it with? Im helpless...

It will be very difficult while its in the car but it can probably be done. You could probably reach it easier if the manifold and the starter are removed. I used a woodscrew to get mine out. I carefully turned it in while not putting too much pressure on it to push it in. Once I got the screw in it was a simple grab and pull out. Of coarse this was while it was out of the car though. Mabe someone will chime in here who has done it while in car? Did you have a shop install the motor? If you did they should take care of this for you!
